If you refer to VLC sample uk.co.caprica.vlcj.test.list.TestMediaListEmbeddedPlayer from vlcj-1.2.0-test.jar distribution, this is how it is done:
/**
* Example showing how to combine a media list player with an embedded media
* player.
*/
public class TestMediaListEmbeddedPlayer extends VlcjTest {

mediaListPlayer.addMediaListPlayerEventListener(new MediaListPlayerEventAdapter() {
@Override

System.out.println("nextItem()");
}
});
mediaListPlayer.setMediaPlayer(mediaPlayer); // <--- Important, associate the media player with the media list player
JPanel cp = new JPanel();
